For too long, the achievements of women artists in Britain were overshadowed, overlooked or simply written out of the story of British art. **Out of the Shadows** brings together an extraordinary range of their work, revealing the originality, diversity and ambition of artists who helped shape British visual culture.

From painting, drawing and printmaking to sculpture and design, these works span different generations, movements and artistic traditions. Some of the artists are now rightly celebrated; others remain ripe for rediscovery. Together they reveal not a separate history of “women’s art”, but an essential and compelling part of the story of Modern British Art.
